1.52 is what percent of 66.3 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 66.3 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 66.3, so we can write it down as 100%=66.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66.3
2) x%=1.52
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=66.3/1.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.52 is what percent of 66.3

100%/x%=66.3/1.52
(100/x)*x=(66.3/1.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.618421052632*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.618421052632) to get x
100/43.618421052632=x
2.2926093514329=x
x=2.2926093514329

now we have:
1.52 is 2.2926093514329% of 66.3
